Cultural Performance

Bakonzo
Music & Dance

The Rhythm of the Rwenzururu. Where drums beat our history and movement tells our stories.

History Written in Rhythm

Music is the heartbeat of the Bakonzo community. Whether we host a harvest celebration, a wedding, or welcome guests from far away, we do it with sound and movement. We invite you to sit front-row for a private performance that showcases the energy of our people.

The Experience

What to Expect

Ekikibi Dance
Signature Dance

The Ekikibi

The signature chest dance of the Rwenzori. A high-energy, competitive display where men and women bounce and bump chests to the rhythm. It remains unique to our culture and incredible to watch.

Endara Xylophone
Live Sound

The Instruments

Hear the thunder of the Engoma (drums) and the melody of the Endara (a large wooden xylophone played by multiple people). Our ancestors historically used these instruments to send messages across ridges.
